Pake is an open-source tool that lets you wrap any website into a lightweight desktop application for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Built on Rust Tauri, Pake apps are typically around 5MB—nearly 20 times smaller than Electron equivalents—while offering better performance and lower memory usage. With a simple CLI or pre-built binaries, you can turn sites like ChatGPT, WhatsApp Web, or internal dashboards into native-feeling apps. Features include system tray support, customizable windows, ad-blocking, and drag-and-drop. Ideal for creating focused workspaces or distributing internal tools without the bloat of traditional frameworks.
